ComradeRadek:

Ithank you very much for the material you have sent
me. I return it. I cannot express my opinion, because I am
not clear on the matter: I cannot form an opinion after
reading the very little that you have marked off.

Bythe way, if you see Gennari, thank him for his
letter to the “Comrades members of the Executive Committee
of the Communist International” of 18/IX.1921.

Itis clear, precise andfullyconvincing.

Serratiis a blend of petty-bourgeois spinelessness and
politicaster swindling.I am quite preparedto repeat this in
the press if Gennari and other comrades—you and Zinoviev
among them, of course—consider it useful. In that case, let
Gennari send me theoriginalof Serrati’s article inAvanti!,
and I shall write him a 20–line letter for the press. But it
is hardly worth while to do this.

Yours,Lenin
